CHAPTER XXVL (‘)
An Acts for the Grant of Three entire Subsidies and Six Fifieence and Tenthes gramed by the Temporahy.

O8T Gaarrous Sovenatows, os at the fire entrance of your Majcatie into this Kingdome there appcered
wnlversally in all your loving Subject greater demonstration of Affection towards your Royall Person then ever

hath beene observed towards any former King upon a joyfull and forcrunning expcctatinn of your Majesties religines
just and gratious Governcment ; 20 finding by the grounded experience of Three yeares now compleate of the same
yo’ happie Government thar your Majestic heth turned our hopes into sensible and actuall Benefite, We cannot but still
settle and encrease in Love Zeale and Dutie towards you, which We thinke fitt more and more to make manifest te
your Majestic, not by externe Shewes but by reall Efect(; And therefore We your most loving and loyall Subjecté
being by your Royall Authoriie seormbled in Parliament to consek of the great and important Causes of thie yo’
Kingdome, bave entered into due consideration both of yo’ Majcstics great Benefin( and of yo’ present Enate (in the
support whereof, the contyausace of those Benches doth principally comsit),; Wherein We doe in fra place
call to minde the: by God¢ great Mercies and Blessing and yo’ Majenice religious Care in Execution of the good
Lawes for that px ordained, the tree Religion of Almightic God freed and delivered from the servitude of blinds
and forrsigne Superstikion, is contynved ento us, and that in such sorte os considering yo’ Majesties constant aad
jodiciall profession thereof, snd the religious Education of your Children, We rest assured that under Gods Favour
joy the came to Us and our Posteritie for ever: Next to Religion and Peace with God, We

wil remember thet Peace of Estate both a Home end Abroade which under yo’ Christion and predent
Government We enjoy, whereof Wee have the lene reason to dowbt any interruption, when We behold the greames
aad repuution of your Mojesticn Power, and the goodmes and excellencle of yo’ Royall Disposiiia, whereof the ner
te not like to give the Camss or Occasion, and the former le Uhe to sbute the Cournge and Forces of any houile
‘Amemepet | And lnnly we connct but with enepeskable joy of heort consider of that bicwing which heving respect 10

bn the Hand of the Mightle, able to deunt yo’ Faemyes, and to maure ya’ loving Subject(, and to ufegard yo’ Reyall
Porm, and tw chethi end protect each other, and to he a plnige to te aml our Huwterkle of futere ond piurable
felickee 5 Thrag Pirecfiere and Wheealngf (dread Huveraiqne) amonge many sihere os We gladly ahaneinig to yo
Moajewien great ieneur and wer great Comfort, co neverthelwe having wpm mature Adviee concluded to prewnt t
your Majrulc a Guift in propurtion and aperd of payment excecding all former preidem uf larlisment (the thes
of Peace consblered) We der ferther thinke ft t0 mide and expres thune reusnme apceiall and extreordinarie which
hove moved Us thereunto brat the same ovr duing( may he drawne into preeklent, to the prejudice of the State of our
Countrie and our Posteritie: A first and principell reaann be, that inte monstrous Ariempt of that accursed crew of
deaperee Paging to heve destroyed yo’ Exccilcent Majestic, the Queene, and yo’ Royall Progenic, ingether with tbe
Reverend Preimece Nobillitie snd Cimons of this Lead assembled in I'arilament, to the greet confusion yf not subversion
of this Kingdome ) this barbaroes mallice in some unnatural Subject We have though fitt to check and encoumer
with this certaine demoastraéa of the universal and redoubted love of yo’ loyall and fanhfull Subject(, not only for
the present to brecde in yo’ Majestic a more confident Assurance of oer utmost Aydce in procecding with a princely
fesolution to repreese them, and to furnish yo’ Majestic agamet hostile Attempt? both by Sea and Land, but ako for
the farare tanes, to give them their Patrons and Partakers to endermand, thar yo’ Majestic cam never weet in this
Kingdome meance of Defence of yo’ Rightcs Revenge of yo’ Wrang( sad Support of yo' Estate: A second reason is,
‘that memorable Bencft wherwith it hath pleased the Divine Providence in great Grace and Favour to blcsse this
Nation im your Majesties person by addition of another Kingdome, whereby both ancient Hostiliics are quite
extinguished, and sil Footing and Approaches of any Forrnigner im this Island are excluded, and yo' Majesties cther
Dominions the more secered, which happie Event was neverthelesse attended with sundrie rare and necrotic
crcumsances of Charge now at yo’ Majesties first entrance nad setling, such os the like hath act been in former
times, nor is ihe to be in succeeding Ages: A third and most urgent reseon le, the great and excessive Charge which
the unnatureil Warre of Ireland newly finished before our late renowned Queencs Decease did neceuarily impure upon
yo’ Majcatie, by drawing with i a long traine of after Expence even im yo’ Majesties tune till the Peece thereof were
throughiie setled and assured, which Kingdome in now aiace yo’ Majestics time become in the vasiet Provinces therof
capable of the plantation of Religion Justice Civillicie and Population, sad may in no long time arise to be a most
profitable and opalent Member of yo’ Imperiall Crowne: A fourth reason ariecth from the greet contentment and joy
which We have in the remembrance of your Majestics most gratiuas Dispowtion to the good of yo" People, testified as
well at yo’ Grst entranee into this Kingdome by the princely care you tooke ont of yo' own Royall Minde to free these
by your Proclamation from any burdens of Monopolies and other unlawfull thing¢ which them remayned in use, os
aleo of inte yo’ comfortable Messages sent unto Us during this Session of Parlmment purporting the contynuance of
like gratious intention towards them, where just occasion of gricfe should eppeare 5 which joy of ours hath bred a desire
im Us 00 exprene in more then ordinary maner our extracrdinarie and humble Thank( wnto yo' Majestic for the same
wad to make k appeare on our partes that We will at no time omyt any testimonies of Love and Dutie towards yo’
Majestic that may procure or deserve the perfecting and accomplishing of so princely a worke (s0 well begun) of
Grace end Favour towards Us, it being farre from our Uiepositions to entertaine any such unthankfuliness into our
hast¢ ao not cheerfully to assist with our Goods and Substance and all other Dutice of Subject( euch a Soveraigne by
. whome we fad ourselves so tenderly regarded: Thus (gratious Soveraigne) out of these extraordinaric Reasons and
Comiderations, as alo out of our great Love and Affection towards yo’ Majcstics Person Vertucs and Felicitics, We doe
with off humble and cheerfull Affections present to your Majestic Three Subsidics and Six Fylicenths and Teaths 1
And We doe most humblie beseecbe your Majestic that ik may be enacted by authorkie of this prcecnt Parliaaca: in

afterward¢ vinlemly torn rent broken into Pecces and carried quytc away, to the great Hindcrance of many Hundredf

Sereames of Water, aad to the excceding Trouble and Hinderance of the Exate of all yo’ Ma'( sah! Citic, by reawn
thar the Inhabicam’ thereof were inforced not onely to grynd all thelr Cornc, but also to tuck and full all their Clothe

whereof the said Maio’ Baylif and Cominakie were resolved to erect and build again a newe Weore in the tame
Place, but could not possibly effect the same, for that the said River (having wholly posed with much Violence
through the said Breach) had made such a Depth of Water there, thet a sound sad perfect Foundacin for 3 Weare
could not posibly be leyd: Whereupon the said Maio’ Baylifft and Caminakic (spcedilie to prevent the Ruin and
